WARLIKE EVENTS INSURANCE

Although it is safe to film in Israel as in any other location throughout the world, Israel's government reacted to some international producers' concern by initiating the Warlike Events Insurance Package.Through the initiative of the Israeli government and with the best interests of foreign film producers in mind, the Inbal Insurance Company LTD is offering coverage for loss or damage to the production incurred which might result from warlike events in Israel and territories controlled by Israel. Even though there is no current threat of war in the area, the insurance policy will indemnify insured parties for the loss of monies invested as well as additional expenses associated with the production of the film resulting from warlike events, whether war was declared or not, that cause an interruption, postponement or financial loss - all subjected to the policy.All budgets and contracts are expressed in US Dollars or Euro. All local payments are made in Israeli shekels.
